not sure what you're saying here - that kids are making music and we're just not spotting it, or that we're wrong to say it's easier than ever?

I had no idea Indigo's synapses were so fried. I'll be sure not to make any unexpected movements in the periphery of his vision if we ever meet.

I guess what this boils down to for me, as somebody who's come into writing and talking about this music really in the last 2 years, is that it's a debate waged by older people comparing 'A' to 'B', when for us young tykes there's only a 'B', and a second hand 'A' supplied through those very...

to track back a bit, Woebot at Critical Beats in Stratford last night touched on this 'music isn't coming from the streets any more' thing. Aside from suggesting some of the talent has been siphoned off into road rap, his main point seemed to be that working class artists (sorry, I really do...

ah right. Well my fingers are crossed that they'll improve it over time anyway. still had an amazing night in spite of the quietness

was there last night for floating points & caribou. It is definitely smaller...but I like that. It's a fucking pitch black metal box now, which strikes me as being consistent with what plastic people has always been about. They must've reduced capacity because even at peak time it wasn't...

yeah reading it now. I unfairly assumed it would be an NME-style substanceless hype piece

...by philip sherburne...?

all about far reaching theories. Very intrigued by the rouges foam book coming next month. I was slightly intrigued and then I read the testimonial... "A timely analysis of musical evolution at a moment when many practitioners have become fixated on the past and thinkers have found themselves...

maybe what this is hinting at: "...creating exit strategies from the current virus of the 90s inspired retro house fad." http://www.planet.mu/discography/ZIQ311

My first solo EP came out this week. Housey bassy stuff (minus the polite RnB cutups) :- you can stream it all on the bandcamp

Sully LP is pretty nice, maybe I'm a bit of a melodics nazi but a lot of the more tuneful stuff sounds quite sappy to me. But yeah It's Your Love, Encona etc. are great

Bon Iver's a weird one though, been listening through his two albums lately. For the most part he's an acoustic guitar, multi-tracked vocals, soppy americana kinda guy. But even on the first album there's one bit of really brash autotuning, and the 2nd album is littered with it...this kind of...

yeah I'm usually a blake defender and secret bon iver admirer but that track is...horrible

my review of the night / series of sweeping generalisations about the future of UK bass music went up this morning. Would be interested to know what you guys think (especially mr. Blackdown sir): http://thequietus.com/articles/06834-fwd-10th-birthday-review-dubstep-grime

always risky to bring intellect in it...surely that's basically a way of justifying in empirical terms what are basically likes/dislikes and a perceived heirarchy between the 'credible' stuff you like and the mainstream stuff you don't. also me and my flatmate always go at it with the food...

yeah it definitely improved when the room filled out, bodies absorbing some of the slapback I guess. And it's a testament to the music that I still lost my shit a few times :) Marcus Nasty's set was a total eardrum buster...as you say real shame as the tune selection was excellent.

Did anybody make it to the FWD 10th birthday on Saturday? The sets were excellent - particularly Youngsta and Kode 9 - but the sound was a bit of a joke. Ridiculously echoey warehouse vibes and not enough sub. I would've thought that of all people FWD would get that right...? A visit to...
